For the last 90 years, the militaristic dictatorship of the Ascendant Empire has waged an expansionist war against the rest of the galaxy from their seat of power in the Inner Rim, under the leadership of a long line of Chiss Emperors; the current one going by the name of Krow. The sole obstacle between Emperor Krow and his goal is the Galactic Alliance Remnant, a coalition of various worlds and cultures from the Outer Rim, that stands up for democracy and liberty.

The Cabal of the Sith have infiltrated corporations, organisations and even governments across the galaxy, gathering power and wealth for when their time comes.
